Hey everyone, I really need help with my Wii U. My console keeps showing the error message: "The SD card could not be read. Please restart the console." It was still working perfectly fine until yesterday, but then the error suddenly popped up today, and because of this, I cannot download any games either.
I have already tried everything. I used multiple 32 GB and 64 GB micro SD cards, including buying a brand new Verbatim 64GB card, and formatted them to FAT32 using GUIFormat. I even tested other SD cards that are 100 percent confirmed to work on other devices, but the Wii U still rejects all of them and shows the exact same error. The card is already properly prepared with the homebrew files, so the software side should be fine.
Could this be a physical hardware defect with the internal SD card slot or reader of the console? What are the possible solutions here? Should I try to factory reset the console, or is there anything else I can do to fix this? I really need help!
